KONINGSDAG (KING'S DAY, APRIL 27th)

'Cowboy' Ruud. He never went to the US (not mant want to these days) so a rodeo
was not in his book. He did travel to Canada, for relatives who emigrated to Canada
in 1950s after the flood in Zeeland where his family comes from. We had a nice chat.

Books are only a small part of the Freemarket on King's Day.
In celebration of the King's anniversary no sales tax need to be charged.

HISTORISCH SPEKTAKEL 2026 @GRAVE

'Historic Spectacle 2026' during Easter in Grave (N.B.)

Opposing rulers before the battle that afternoon, ending in signing liberation of Grave
1674: in that year, Grave is occupied by the French king Louis XIV. After a long siege, the city is
relieved by stadtholder William III, Prince of Orange. In this re-enactment we get to know the
French general De Chamilly and the commander of the Dutch troops Van Rabenhaupt.

FEBRUARY

VENICE, ITALY

"It’s not important to take the perfect picture. It’s about keeping the mood, the energy, the memory of
what’s happening right now." ¬Nina Davidson

For the first time I found Pasticceria Tonolo open, but now the queue waiting to enter prevented me from visiting.
It was mentioned in Donna Leon's crime fiction books located here in Venice and I attempted a visit a few times.

After some hesitation the policemen told the begging woman to leave; when she got up I put a few coins in here cup.
I saw here later a few streets away. Old people begging get a donation by me: if I can afford to be here in Venice..?
